Ezekiel 43:18–27

¹⁸And He saith unto me, ‘Son of man, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: These are statutes of the altar in the day of its being made to cause burnt-offering to go up on it, and to sprinkle on it blood. ¹⁹And thou hast given unto the priests, the Levites, who are of the seed of Zadok—who are near unto Me, an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, to serve Me—a calf from the herd, for a sin-offering. ²⁰And thou hast taken of its blood, and hast put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of its border, and on the border round about, and hast cleansed it, and purified it. ²¹And thou hast taken the bullock of the sin-offering, and hast burnt it in the appointed place of the house at the outside of the sanctuary. ²²And on the second day thou dost bring near a kid of the goats, a perfect one, for a sin-offering, and they have cleansed the altar, as they cleansed it for the bullock. ²³In thy finishing cleansing, thou dost bring near a calf, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and a ram out of the flock, a perfect one. ²⁴And thou hast brought them near before Jehovah, and the priests have cast upon them salt, and have caused them to go up, a burnt-offering to Jehovah. ²⁵Seven days thou dost prepare a goat for a sin-offering daily, and a bullock, a son of the herd, and a ram out of the flock, perfect ones, do they prepare. ²⁶Seven days they purify the altar, and have cleansed it, and filled their hand. ²⁷And the days are completed, and it hath come to pass on the eighth day, and henceforth, the priests prepare on the altar your burnt-offerings and your peace-offerings, and I have accepted you—an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.’
